Diversity Fashion Week is non profit organization in the heart of Amsterdam.
With a well-organized but ambitious team of
editors, stylists, producers and marketing & sales employees
we take care of the event that takes place twice a year.
Diversity Fashion Week offers a platform for everybody.
The Diversity Fashion Week (DFW) officially founded in 2018. We take pride in infusing diversity in the fashion industry and our aim is to become the iconic show for diversity on the runway. Our mission is to show the world that beauty is not set in one standard but radiates through embracing our different features.
Throughout our shows we aspire to express to our audience a message of beauty, diversity and unity.

We may have different religions, different languages, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race.
